Kanazawa Racecourse

Kanazawa Racecourse, 石川県金沢市にある競馬場

Kanazawa Racecourse is a horse racing venue in Kanazawa, Japan, built around a right-handed dirt track. The grounds include spectator stands with open views of the track, as well as grassy areas and tree-lined sections around the course.

The first track opened in 1931 at Tobata Village, now the Irie and Shinkanda area of Kanazawa, under the Ishikawa Prefecture Livestock Association. It moved to its present Hatta-machi site in 1972, with racing there from April 1973. Since 1948 the prefecture has been an operator under the Racing Law, joined by Kanazawa city in 1954.

The tatami seating, about 14 mats, was installed on 22 May 2005 in the stand near the finish line, so spectators watch the closing stretch from straw mats. The track has no dedicated local commentator; an announcer from Jimoku-sha calls the races. Two booklet-format racing papers, Keiba Kanazawa and Kinki, cover the meetings.

The racecourse is in Hatta-machi Nishi, Kanazawa; from IR Ishikawa Railway's Morimoto Station it is a 48-minute walk. On race days free shuttle buses link the track with Kanazawa Station, served by JR West and IR Ishikawa Railway. Racing is not held from January to early March because of low temperatures.

The large monitor and the finishing-order board inside the grounds are topped with tiled roofs, a detail borrowed from local architecture that visitors often miss. The track itself has four pockets, and around half of the graded races are run over 2100 m or more.
